Start developing plasma-embedded

Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:41 pm
I was thinking about this. And I think I remember that when KDE4.0 was still developed, it was said that one of things to go to plasma is to make it more cross-platform.
So after plasma-netbook, we should start developing plasma-embeded.
Everytihing is already here, svg plasmoids, that can be scaled down so that they could fit on embedded devices. Well most of plasmoids do need a bit more polishing as some don't scale down well.
But all essentials are there the on-screen keyboard, clock, PIM...
Nokia showed that it knows about KDE when they decided to use KOffice for N800 (I think).
"Our" next step should be to get KDE so good it would be used by Nokia in their future smartphones.
I mean Androind and Moblin are fine, but What if I prefer KDE interface on tzhem instead of their default interface?

PS. I have a feeling that this is somewhere in road-map, but I searched KDE.org and plasma wiki and found nothing about it...
But if anyone knows that this is already planned please notify me.

You should read planetkde. ;)
Some developers port Plasma to Maemo (N900), of course with an own shell etc.
Plasma on Android would be impossible because of Java, Android is no real GNU/Linux, it's a Linux-Kernel+Java VM.
Try trunk/playground/base/plasma/shells. I think the hildon-shell integrates Plasmoids into Maemo's homescreen.
But there's also real Plasma-stuff using the netbook-shell:

Cool. I did expect that it's being developed. And Aaron Seigo talked about this to in one of his recent blogs.

I'll mark it in development.
